"I've learned this important truth: God calls people through Saddleback, not to Saddleback. What that means is that God calls just the right person, at just the right time, to both serve our church and to learn from our church. Then he sends them out to other places as missionaries. We now have former Saddleback staff serving as missionaries in other churches and ministries all around the world. I call them our purpose driven agents!"

Doug Fields Resigns from Saddleback Church
As a PDYM state mentor I learned of Doug Fields' resignation from Saddleback Church last week. It's not juicy gossip material but a testimony of great leadership and sensitivity to the leading of the Holy Spirit. Below you can read the full story directly from Doug, with opening and closing comments from Rick Warren, but one thing that Warren said at the end is this:
